Harry defeats Voldemort in the graveyard and suddenly finds himself with a lot more time to focus on his studies. Severus sees that Harry is truly gifted at potions and once Harry leaves school, offers him an apprenticeship. But as the two work closely together for an extended period of time, Harry starts to notice things. Outdated customs, skirting around certain subjects and intimate knowledge of rituals and spells long forgotten to the general populace. Severus has been hiding a large secret indeed. Now Complete!

When Voldemort hits Harry with the killing curse the night of the Hogwarts battle, a choice will present itself for young Harry to make. What will he choose? I do not own Harry Potter.

•Story Summery: Harry Potter, the forgotten twin brother of 'Boy-Who-Lived', was beaten to death by his abusive Muggle relatives. But his Magic disagreed with dying so early, so it dug deep into his soul and blood and brought out something that will help him survive and live. But, who will take him from his destined cruel Fate? Tom Marvolo Riddle, AKA Lord Voldemort has fallen into the deepest voids because of his addiction to Dark Arts. So when his Prophesied 'Equal' & mortal enemy, who happens to be the keeper of his soul piece, comes to his aid and offers him another chance by helping him recover from the insanity thus filling out the void that has been created by cruel and merciless fate, what he will do? Can he refuse the little green-eyed chaos maker who declared himself his 'son in everything but blood'? James "Jim" Potter, the 'Boy-Who-Lived', and the Wizarding World's child celebrity. But it's not a life he wants for himself. There is something else he wants with all his heart, something that he would exchange all his fame and glory for in a beat.
